quickest way to find nas by script

[Anon Anon]

Hi,

 

What do you guys think would be the quickest way to find the hub hosting nas through a script?

 

I was thinking of going to the closest hub and checking it's queues, but that wouldn't work if get queues are used.

I haven't checked but the inst_list_summary or probe_list callback in the controller list everything installed then you just look for nas.

Hi Neal,

 

I could get it that way, and from getrobots on the hub with details enabled as well. I'm hoping there might be some smart way to do this without polling hubs or robots. Might be I'm hoping for too much

LOL maybe the process probe looking for the nas process of course this would mean it needs to be running.  Dir scan probe looking for the probes/service/nas folder.

I ended up doing it like this

 

1. do gethubs call to the closest hub
2. loop through hublist and take the "addr", replace "hub" with "controller" and do "probe_list" call to that address
3. check if the returned PDS contains key "nas"
4. if it's found, break the loop and use this address (replace "controller" with "nas", of course)

"quickest" query/response is prob from the DB. much faster than traversing through all hubs, hub's robots and their probes but i do that as well. you can try something like this query if you like.

SELECT r.*, p.*
FROM [NimsoftSLM].[dbo].[CM_NIMBUS_ROBOT] r
Right join [NimsoftSLM].[dbo].[CM_NIMBUS_PROBE] p
on (p.[robot_id] = r.[robot_id])
where p.[probe_name] = 'nas'

That's a pretty good trick!

 

I think the use case here is to run from robots throughout the environment, which probably will not be able to hit the database, but I really like this tip. It may come in handy...

Heh true, doesn't fit in my case, but it's a good idea
